New statistics revealed in a report by Dublin council’s parking appeals officer show which areas in Dublin are the most commonly clamped.

According to Independent.ie, it has also been revealed that more than 11,300 cars have been clamped more than once since the statistics began in 2012.

Of those, 1,953 cars were clamped more than five times since 2012, and of those, 59 cars have been clamped 20 times or more in the last four years.

In fact, two drivers have each been clamped 54 times in the last 48 months. This has led to discussions of a tiered fining system for those who are clamped multiple times, with a suggestion of the €80 fee to be increased to €160 for any driver clamped three times or more in a twelve month period.
